“Spotting the symptoms of ovarian cancer and getting help early can be vital in getting the right treatment quickly.

"Women should check for any symptoms of ovarian cancer and if they have any worries or concerns they should either call NHS 111 or see a health professional. Ovarian cancer is most common in women who have already been through the menopause but it can affect women of any age.”

NHS England has recently launched ‘The earlier the better’ public awareness campaign, which is designed to encourage people to seek medical advice if they have any worries or concerns about cancer. Early diagnosis of cancer can increase your chance of long term survival.
